Re: Self-injurious Behaviors in Children with Autism

[Guest guest]

Thank you for sharing this article. When I originally received it, it wasn't applicable to our son. Unfortunately, just in the past few days, he has begun exhibiting self-injurious behavior in the form of hitting his head with his hands. Although this new behavior is troubling & a cause for immediate concern, it is very useful to have articles such as these for a parent to turn to as an initial resource & for educators as well. I am using it a few other articles as a starting point for seeking treatment & possible causes.Dolly
